In a tragic accident that happened in the middle of a Delaware thoroughfare on Sunday early morning around 1:44 am, a former staffer for Gov. Andrew Cuomo was killed by a passing car after he was kicked out of the car he was riding in by an angry Lyft driver.

Sidney Wolf, 43, was fatally struck on Coastal Highway (Route 1) when the driver stopped in the left lane and told Wolf and five of his friends to get out, according to the Delaware State Police.

“Shocked & saddened to hear this tragic news,” Cuomo tweeted about his former senior policy adviser. “Sid was a phenomenal public servant who worked relentlessly for the betterment of all NY’ers.”

As reported by the NY Post, the driver of a Toyota Corolla behind the Lyft — thought to be a Honda Pilot — switched lanes to avoid the stopped SUV and hit Wolf, who had just gotten out of the rear passenger side and was standing in the roadway.

The other five passengers, who were not identified, were uninjured. The 27-year-old driver of the Toyota remained on the scene, but the Lyft driver fled and is still at large, state police said.

One of his two sisters, Brooke Freed, said she “will forever miss” him.

“I can’t believe this has happened … I lost not just my brother but a role model and a friend and a source of comfort and wisdom,” she wrote.

Wolf was a “beloved husband” of Lindsey Greenbaum Wolf and an “adored father” to their two daughters, Emerson and Harper, an online obituary said.

An online fundraiser collected more than $60,000 in just one day. “Sid always had a smile on his face,” said the fundraiser, calling him “a great husband, father, friend, and neighbor to so many of us.”

Police said the Lyft driver had picked up the six friends in Dewey Beach and was taking them to Bethany Beach when he “terminated the ride” after an unspecified argument.

Lyft told Fox News that it was “heartbroken by this incident.”

“Our hearts are with the victim’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time, and we’ve reached out to the ride requester to offer our support.

“We are in contact with law enforcement and will assist them however we can,” the company said in a statement.
